- This digital archive, hosted by the Archaeology Data Service (ADS), contains many of the excavation archives salvaged from the now defunct Newham Museum Service Archaeology Centre. Holding material relating to over 180 sites, the archive contains site reports, desktop assessments, specialist reports (including finds and environmental), project designs, finds lists and various survey reports. Due to it size, the archive has been organised into six London boroughs in which sites have been excavated: Barking and Dagenham, Hackney, Merton and Thurrock, Newham, Redbridge, and Waltham Forest. For each borough, a list of the associated sites and the various reports and information available is given. |

- Alan Kay's talk at ETCon (link via ted Leung seems to be getting a lot of notice. I think what's going on is that the Java wave has come and gone, and things just aren't that different. Development is still hard; the tools are still not as good as what Lisp and Smalltalk had to offer 20 years ago. Sure, Eclipse is cool - if you come at it from a C language guy's POV. |

- This digital archive, hosted by the Archaeology Data Service (ADS), details the excavations undertaken by the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) in 1996 on the site of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London. It is part of the 'Digital Archiving Pilot Project: Excavation Records' (DAPPER) project funded by English Heritage. Since the discovery of the Middle-Saxon trading port of 'Lundenwic' in London's West End during the 1980s, over 70 excavations have been undertaken - half of which have yielded evidence for the 7th to 9th Century settlement. However, many of these investigations were small-scale, and helped little in establishing a street-plan and layout for the port. |

- This digital archive, hosted by the Archaeology Data Service (ADS), present the database of Prehistoric and Romano-British Kimmeridge shale - a catalogue of over 3000 artefacts made from Kimmeridge Shale. Shale, an argillaceous, fissile rock occurring widely in Britain, supported an industry which produced a wide range of functional and ornamental forms during prehistoric and, especially, Romano-British periods. Archaeological evidence shows that one source of shale in particular was exploited during these periods: the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset. The Kimmeridge shale was especially suited to object manufacture, due to its hardness and ability to take a polish. |

- This is the Web site of the World Guide to Literature in English. A vast and free resource, the encyclopedia currently contains entries for thousands of authors(including philosophers and other 'non-literary' writers), works and topics. The dictionary is not complete - for example, there is no entry for 'deconstruction' or 'Paul de Man' - but there are temporary links to off-site resources. The site is divided into a number of search areas: person; |

- Chronik der Mauer (Chronicle of the [Berlin] Wall) is devoted primarily to the late summer of 1961 when the Berlin Wall was erected. The site is generally excellent in this respect, providing historical documents such as radio news clips, contemporary news reports, letters, press conferences and important speeches. All documents are arranged following a day-by-day chronology of developments. Also of interest is a statistics section on movement, or prevented movement, between the eastern and western parts of the city between 1949 and 1989. There are lists of important historical figures ; |

- Thanks to a discussion on Barbelith I found on LinkMachineGo, I discovered that two comics characters, Mr. Six in The Invisibles and Jason Wyngrade of the Hellfire Club (Chris Claremont and John Byrne's revised take on Mastermind, from the X-Men storyline that lead into the Dark Pheonix story), are actually based on actor Peter Wyngrade, who played a supervillain running a Hellfire Club in an episode of The Avengers TV series ("A Touch of Brimstone"); In that episode he turned Emma Peel into a "Queen of Sin", with a fetish outfit (spikey collar, corset, boots) very similar to Jean Grey's "Black Queen" identity. However, Jason Wyngrade's look, with the mustache and sideburns, as well as his first name, came from the character Jason King which Wyngrade played in a TV series called Department S and a later series of spin-offs. Grant Morrison's Mister Six in The Invisibles is more simply derived directly from Jason King. |
